United
States v. Grimm, 51 MJ 254 (a 9 mm Beretta pistol is a weapon
specifically
designed for purposes of doing grievous bodily harm, and its
disassembled
status does not necessarily preclude conviction for carrying a
concealed weapon
under Article 134, UCMJ).

(character
of an object as a dangerous but innocent instrument, or as a weapon,
depends on
the surrounding circumstances and is often a question of fact; thus,
disassembled status of a 9 mm Beretta pistol is one circumstance a
factfinder
may consider in determining whether the offense of carrying a concealed
weapon
has been committed).
